How to assemble the base

The base of the tower fan comes in two parts, each part joins together and fits around the oscillation base of the tower. The two parts have interlocking holes and bosses which easily slide/fit into each other when aligned. The back half has cable hooks and a cut-out on the edge to allow the power supply cord to exit flush with the bottom of the base.

1.  First attach the back half of the base, aligning the holes in the base with the screw holes in the back side of the oscillation base of the tower, feed the power cord under the two hooks and through the hole at the edge.
2. Then align the bosses on the front half of the base with the holes on the back half and slide them together against the bottom of the tower.
3. Secure the base to the bottom of the tower with the four wing head screws sup-plied, two through the front half and two through the back half.
4. The product can now be stood upright on its secured base with the cable passing out the rim at the back flush with the standing surface.

Remote Control

The remote control for the appliance comes complete with a CR2025 3V battery fitted. Before using the remote, please pull out the plastic insulation tab to connect the battery to the remotes circuit. To replace the battery simply unclip and remove the battery cover on the back and replace the battery, then carefully refit the cover and snap it into place.

MODE
Pressing the ’MODE’ button will change the operation of the fan between NORMAL, NATURAL, SLEEP and CHILD mode, the symbol for the mode selected will appear on the LED display panel as indicated in the following description: In NORMAL Mode , the fan will run continuously at whatever fan speed selected. In NATURAL Mode , the fan will run at high speed for 15s, then change down automatically to middle speed for 15s and finally change down to low speed automatically for 15s before cycling back up to high speed. The fan will then start the same automatic speed changing cycle of operation again and continuing to run this described way until manually switched off. If SLEEP Mode is selected at high speed, the fan will work at high speed for 30 mins, then automatically change down to medium speed for 30 mins and finally change down to run at low speed and it will continue to run that way until manually switched off. If sleep mode is selected at medium speed it runs for 30 mins at medium speed then switches down to low speed and continues to run. If selected at low speed it just contin-ues to run at low speed until switched off. Note: that display always turns off after 30s. If EASY Mode is selected the fan will start oscillating, the ioniser will switch on and the runback timer will auto- set to 3 hours, the fan will initially run at high speed for 15 minutes, then change down automatically to middle speed for 15 minutes and then automatically change down to low speed, it will continue to run at low speed until manually switched off.
